    Just more marketing by Cook and Apple to get more people to buy iPhones.
    Just more drive by garbage posts from the latest AI forum troll.

    Oh Please..... Tim could you please focus the company's work on being the company Steve Jobs wanted it to be??? Remember? making products that were innovative...

    Rather than jet setting around the country rubbing elbows with the regime that is currently running Washington; call out that clown Jony Ive from whatever deep burrow inside the spaceship he is hiding in and show him the new Turing phones, the Vivo Water Drop phone, and whatever folding device Samsung is going to come out with and point blank tell him "This is why Apple is a follower, not a leader. This is why Apple is going to get their ass kicked. This is why our stock option won't be worth a poop in 5 years."

    Tim, this argument for government intervention does not make Apple a better company.

    I get the sentiment but regulations like this only make barrier to entry that much higher and Google and Facebook that much more powerful. Which is probably why Zuckerberg supports federal regulations. And of course Apple makes the majority of its revenue and profits from selling hardware so it’s easy for Cook to take this stance. But honestly the reason all this data collection exists is mostly because people don’t want to pay money for software/services. If they did, Facebook would be charging users a monthly fee vs being an ad business.
    Cooks protests are a NothingBurger intended to distract from all the problems he created.


    What the fuck is wrong with you guys?

    If you think things are screwed up now, just wait until the government gets involved.

    I think part of the reason why the data mining economy has gone unchecked for so long is people’s lack of understanding of privacy rights.

    The foolish “I got nothing to hide” mindset and people who promote it is the drive behind margenalizing these rights.

    The clueless millennial generation has been brainwashed into social media status, oversharing and not caring at all about privacy.

    I respect Tim Cook for his efforts in this arena.
